Flex Spending, Health Savings & Wellness Accounts
The County of Summit offers several tax-advantaged spending and savings accounts to help you manage your healthcare and dependent care expenses. These accounts allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible expenses, helping you save money throughout the year. The Flexible Spending Account (FSA), Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA), Health Savings Account (HSA), and Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) programs are all administered by TASC.
Flexible Spending & Health Reimbursement (Wellness Rewards) Accounts
The County of Summit offers employees a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) program administered by TASC. Contributions are deducted from your paycheck on a pre-tax basis to pay for eligible out-of-pocket medical, dental, and dependent care expenses.
When you participate in the County of Summit’s wellness program, you earn wellness dollars that are deposited into a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) by the County of Summit. These funds can be used for eligible medical expenses during your employment.
Employees enrolled in the Health Care FSA or HRA are issued a TASC debit card to pay for eligible expenses directly. Claims may also be submitted through the TASC portal or mobile app.
Employees enrolled in the Dependent Care FSA (DCFSA) must pay for services first and then submit a reimbursement request, as funds are only available after they have been deducted from your paycheck and deposited into your account.
